A curious old item recounts a candle left to smolder in Mortiguen France as a mouse climbs a chimney to feed on a wick, followed by a humorous sketch of actor Georgy Weir fending off a heckler in Stroud. The piece ends with a note on the Kaffirs and a primitive instrument called the igubo, described with a dash of World’s Work flavor.
